Biographical Note

Frederic Edwards Wilson was born to William and Laura (Edwards) Wilson in Cincinnati, Ohio on July 15, 1883. He was the oldest of three children, including Ella Campbell (Wilson) Johnson (1886-) and Margaret (Wilson) Newell (1890-1978). Fred Wilson began his career with Maxwell-Briscoe, a Tarrytown, New York car company, in 1905. In 1909, he moved to the Overland Automobile Company (later known as Willis-Overland), where he was in charge of sales, marketing, and service in Houston, Dallas, and Cleveland. He worked for the Midwest Engine Company (1918-1920), Stutz Motor Car (1921-1923), Chrysler (1923-1925), and R. H. Collins Automobile Company (1925-1928) before moving to Phoenix, Arizona in 1933. Here, Wilson served as City Manger (1935-1936) before purchasing Vaughn's Indian Store in 1936. He changed the name to Fred Wilson's Indian Trading Post and operated a chain of these stores throughout the southwest. Wilson retired from the business in 1962 but continued to study Native American art and patronize artists until his death in 1969.

Wilson first married Georgiana Pendleton McIntosh and the couple had one son, William E. (1910-). Georgiana was deceased in 1915, and Wilson later married Ruth Rardin (1888-1962).
